Tulsa Septic Tank Maintenance

Keep Your Septic System on Track—Avoid Costly Surprises Later

A septic setup can function quietly for years—until something slips out of balance. When organic breakdown slows or solids build up, the first signs might be subtle: a gurgle in the drain, a damp spot near the lawn, or unusual odors around the yard. Over time, minor neglect leads to major disruption. Regular maintenance keeps these systems stable, efficient, and compliant with local standards—and helps you avoid expensive excavation or emergency repairs.

At Mullin Plumbing, we approach septic tank maintenance as an investment in longevity. We don’t just check boxes—we monitor tank health, assess field saturation, and adjust timing based on usage volume and environmental conditions. Whether you’re maintaining a residential layout or overseeing a commercial schedule, we provide care that keeps your wastewater flowing the right way—all year long.

What’s Included in a Maintenance Visit?

Not every visit is about pumping. In fact, most of our maintenance calls involve deeper system insight and preventative steps that help you get ahead of wear.

Tank Capacity Check
We measure solids, scum, and total liquid volume to identify when pumping is actually needed.

Effluent Filter Cleaning
Blocked filters slow drainage and force water back into the tank. We clear debris and inspect performance.

Drain Field Performance Review
Saturation or uneven absorption? We flag any signs of overload or improper grading.

Line & Vent Condition Check
Damaged inlet lines or obstructed air vents can throw off the entire system. We verify flow and pressure points.

Inspection Lid & Cover Testing
We check seals and lids for cracks, deterioration, or poor fit that might lead to intrusion or odor escape.

Who Benefits Most from Regular Septic Care?

Every property that uses a septic tank needs maintenance—but some rely on it more than others. Mullin Plumbing supports both homeowners and business owners with tailored plans that match the volume, usage, and design of each setup.

• For Residential Clients: We work with families, rental properties, and rural sites to time pumpings, check filters, and prevent backups that disrupt daily life.
• For Commercial Locations: Restaurants, healthcare offices, schools, and industrial facilities all generate high wastewater volume. Our maintenance includes grease load evaluations, multi-tank flow balancing, and documentation support for local inspection requirements.
• For New Septic Owners: If you’ve just purchased a property with a tank, we’ll walk you through maintenance intervals, warning signs, and protective add-ons like riser lids or backflow preventers.

With a plan in place, your setup works harder—without added stress or surprise bills.

Maintain the Flow. Avoid the Fallout.

Putting off a maintenance visit may not cause problems this month—but next season might be a different story. Once solids breach the drain field or roots collapse a line, repair costs rise quickly. Our team makes septic care easy to schedule and even easier to trust.

Call Mullin Plumbing at 918-215-2608 to schedule a tune-up that fits your system, your property, and your pace. We’ll inspect, clean, and adjust where needed—so your setup stays efficient, balanced, and built for the long haul.
